For salon and spa owners, creating an inviting, modern space is essential for attracting clients and staying competitive—but purchasing all the chairs, stations, and specialty devices up front can be overwhelming. That’s why many beauty businesses turn to salon and spa equipment leasing to upgrade their space without exhausting their capital.
From styling chairs and facial machines to massage tables and tanning beds, leasing gives you access to the tools you need while keeping your cash flow healthy.
What salon and spa equipment can be leased?
You can lease styling chairs, shampoo units, massage tables, facial machines, laser devices, and other salon and spa essentials to modernize your business.
Most professional-grade beauty and wellness tools qualify for financing or leasing. Here’s what’s typically eligible:
Styling chairs and stations
Shampoo bowls and units
Hood dryers and steamer chairs
Rolling carts and cabinetry
POS systems and front-desk furniture
Massage tables and esthetician beds
Facial steamers and LED light therapy machines
Waxing equipment
Microdermabrasion and ultrasonic devices
Hot towel warmers and aromatherapy diffusers
Laser hair removal systems
Teeth whitening lights
Tanning beds and red light therapy panels
Hydrotherapy or sauna pods
Cryotherapy chambers (select providers)
Leasing allows you to outfit or renovate your space without a large cash outlay, helping you maintain working capital for inventory, staffing, and marketing.
Modern equipment enhances your brand image, improves service quality, and increases client retention and referrals.
Advanced machines like IPL, HydraFacial, or LED therapy units can cost thousands—leasing lets you use them affordably and stay on trend.
Choose from 12–60 month lease terms, often with buyout or upgrade options at the end.
Lease payments may be deductible as operational expenses under IRS rules.
